Peugeot designers bring kids' car designs to life

Peugeot designers have brought six childrens' car sketches to life by rendering them as a prize for the 'Draw Me The Car of 2020' design competition, launched in collaboration with children's magazine Okapi.

The six 10-15 year old winners – Clement, Thomas, Lena, Tom, Leo and Gaspard – were able to see their dream cars realized by Peugeot designer Olivier Gamiette, who worked on the EX1 concept car.

Peugeot presented the first placed winner, Thomas, with a 270mm by 140mm model of his design at an awards ceremony held at the carmaker's design center in Velizy, France. All the winners were given the opportunity to share their thoughts and inspiration behind their designs.

Other winning sketches saw a sports car with bodywork-covered front wheels and a two-wheeled mobility vehicle.

Children from 10-15 years old entered over 100 designs of all shapes and sizes into the competition, launched exclusively in France last October, before the jury of two Peugeot designers and two Okapi journalists whittled down the submissions to just six winning designs.
